But what happens when pancakes with bacon isn't on the menu? This is a common problem that we all face from time to time but luckily Willis Bakery is happy to take up the challenge for a mid morning breakfast. Fluffy, thick pancakes with a decent size portion of bacon and maple syrup to top it off. Staff very friendly and accommodating.

A pretty standard little bakery in downtown Merimbula.

Nothing special. Every time I came here the place was staffed by teenagers. Service on my visits was mostly sullen and bored. (which admittedly goes with the territory). Requests by me for a fresh-made sandwich (rather than the pre-made ones) were met by a sigh. (Maybe they don't pay them enough?) But the sandwiches and bread were good, so they more than met the need.

I visited the place on Valentine's day morning. I was screamed at by female owner and told to "get out of her business"! My crime was to support my husband who asked for some hot water on the side to dilute his coffee. When I tried to explain that my husband was happy to pay for some additional water and that due to his advanced age he really needs to weaken his coffee I was given the above order from the person who is the owner of the place! Never go to that nightmarish place if you do not want to have your holiday in beautiful Tathra spoiled. Barbara

The Waterfront was THE most popular spot in Merimbula for breakfast and brunch, and no wonder. It…read morewas right on the town boardwalk, with open views of the estuary beyond. It had everything such a place should have: decent food, good coffee, and people watching. There was also plenty of parking nearby on an expanded section of roadway next to the visitor center. Like a lot of places in town, the menu was a little small. They had one type of omelet, an eggs benedict dish, one pancake dish, etc. I chose the "eggs my way" dish on both my visits, since I just wanted something basic and flexible. This came with a number of optional side for an extra cost: baked beans, spinach, roasted tomatoes, sausage or bacon. (Australian bacon is like a piece of Canadian bacon joined to a piece of american bacon - back bacon meets pork belly). We saw a lot of regulars here, with a few sitting in the same spots (I assume they get there early). Nice hometown feel, but that's true of a lot of places in Merimbula. A really nice spot, but not my favorite in town (that role is filled by Bar Beach Kiosk); Grading on the local curve, this one gets 4 stars.

Coming from the US, where eggs Benedict with house made hollandaise is a rarity, theirs is superb. While I haven't had it, many of my coworkers rave about the house made OJ too. For that matter, they have all enjoyed their meals to a man (and woman).
